[It's the throne room, decorated with more of those large red banners, under which an empty throne sits. As a reflection of Berkut's heart, the image shifts under Shiho's power and the effect of her words on his psyche. The austerity of the room is suddenly filled with intense shame and anger as the door beneath Shiho's touch forms a memory.
Our own Lord Berkut, broken by a band of farmers and cowhands. Did you mean to drag your knights' honor through the dung whilst playing?
In this memory, Berkut kneels before the Emperor, near whom a man of faith stands. In sharp contrast to the Emperor's cold scrutiny, the man looks down upon Berkut with a disparaging smile. Neither provides even a modicum of warmth, only further tension. While the rest of the moment is a blur, Berkut's words sound clearly: Sire! You must give me one last chance!
Far above the shame and anger, a crippling fear of failure colors the memory with a trace of madness. It's with this emotion that the door closes the scene.
This being the realm created by his heart, Berkut naturally hears what Shiho hears, though the visuals are lost on him due to his lack of a similar power. As soon as his own voice fades, he steps toward Shiho with an aghast expression.]
